So...Your Kid Wants to Be a Goalie? is the essential guide for every goalie parent who wants to support their young netminder without adding unnecessary pressure, confusion, or chaos to their development. Written by goalie coach, mindset coach, and founder of The Mental Goalie, Coach Austin Christopher, this book breaks down everything parents need to know about raising a confident, resilient, and mentally strong goaltender.
Goaltending is unlike any other position in hockey. The pressure is greater, the expectations are heavier, and the emotional rollercoaster can be overwhelming for both the athlete and the parent. This book gives you a roadmap. With practical tools, tough love advice, and decades of real-world experience, Coach Austin teaches parents how to navigate the complex world of goalie development without micromanaging or burning out their athlete.
